Deep dives into Kubernetes internals, storage CSI optimization, telemetry architectures, and production failure forensics.
Static frontends do not always need a permanent web-server pod. This case study explains how we replaced always-on Nginx workloads with short-lived synchronization jobs, versioned object storage, and a shared read-only delivery gateway while preserving GitOps deployment and rollback safety.
A telemetry review found that configured Kubernetes memory ceilings exceeded available capacity by more than threefold. This anonymized case study explains how to identify policy drift, stage safer changes, and verify the outcome without exposing operational details.
A blameless, anonymized review of how control-plane memory pressure, storage latency, and health-check failures combined into an availability incident—and how verified monitoring changes improved response.
A security-safe, qualitative comparison of kernel-assisted auto-instrumentation and in-process OpenTelemetry SDKs, covering overhead, semantic context, privacy, and hybrid design.
An educational case study and systems engineering reference on kernel resource accounting in Linux telemetry: why user-space process restarts fail to reclaim kernel-resident BPF state, and how to verify lifecycle invariants.
An anonymized case study on assigning recovery responsibility between database and storage layers, reducing duplicated write work without presenting the design as a universal rule.
An anonymized architecture decision explaining why a declarative, immutable Kubernetes operating system reduced configuration drift while introducing a stricter operational model.
